Storage Foundation Cluster File System HA on VMware VMDK Deployment Guide
Storage Foundation Cluster File System (CFS) provides several advantages over a traditional file system when running in a VMware guest OS. The primary benefit is that multiple virtual servers (up to 64) using CFS can simultaneously access data residing on the same physical LUN or virtual disk.Yellow Book: The Veritas Cluster File System: Technology and Usage
This book describes Symantec’s Veritas Cluster File System (CFS), an implementation of the cluster architectural model for sharing data among multiple computers. Based on Symantec’s long-proven Storage Foundation File System (commonly known as VxFS), CFS is exceptionally scalable, robust, and high-performing.Achieving High Availability with Oracle and VMware: VCS 6.0.2
Last week Veritas Cluster Server 6.0.2 for Linux (and 6.0.1 for Windows) was released with new features to allow application failover in VMware environments. Basically that means VCS running in the guest but with a full integration with VMware, which means that capabilities like vMotion and DRS are allowed.

How to make NFS shares highly available using Atleast resource dependency?
What is ‘Atleast resource dependency’? Atleast resource dependency is useful where parent resource depends on multiple child resources but parent resource does not require all child resources to be online before parent resource comes online.Avoiding Service Interruption with I/O Shipping Technology
One of the new features that has been introduced within Storage Foundation Cluster File System HA 6.0.1 is I/O Shipping. This new feature improves resiliency across Cluster File System nodes reducing downtime and improving resiliency. I/O Shipping is about being able to ship I/O from one cluster node to another when a problem in the I/O path occurs.Automate IO fencing keys re-registration of DMP devices inside LDOM after migration
